Bharat-Bahubali yudh ki kahani Jain dharma ki pramukh katha hai. Yahan sangharsh ki saral roop se kahani hai:

• Buniyaad: Bharat (Bharata) aur Bahubali dono Rishabhanath/Adinath ke putr the. Bahubali bade bhai the, Bharat chhote bhai.
• Yudh ki karan: Rishabhdev ke prabhav se samrajya ki virasat ki talash dono ke beech jagi. Bahubali ne rajya adhikar lene ki iccha ki, jabki Bharat ne samrajya par raj karne ki ichha ki.
• Yudh ki ghatna: dono bhaiyon ke beech yudh hua. Bharata ki vijay ki kahani prachin granthon mein milti hai; is yudh ke dauran Bahubali ne apni pratishtha aur rajya ko sambhalne ki kshamata ko parakhne ki sochi, lekin aage ke karmon ki or badhe.
• Bahubali ki agrata: Bahubali ne rajya ki malikana ko tyag diya, aur apne aap ko tyaag, tapasya aur dhyan ke marg par laga diya. Jain dharma ke anusar Bahubali ne Kayotsarg (shoonya ya uparjita samadhi) ki sthiti mein prapt kiya ya moksha ki or agrasar hue, jo ki Digambar aur Shwetambar dono paramparaon mein alag-alag vyaakhyaon se joda jata hai.
• Bharat ki sthiti: Arunagaman ke baad Bharat ne rajya ki gatividhi ko sambhala aur kul-chakravartin ke roop mein prakhyaata mili. Bahubali ki renunciation ne samaj ko adhyatmik nirmaan aur dharma ki mahatva ki yaad dilayi.

Rajnaitik yudh ke sath-sath is kahani ka dharmik sandesh yeh hai:

• dharma aur adharma ki parakh hoti hai;
• sangharsh ke baad bhi adharm par vijay mil sakti hai, lekin adharma se mukti aur dharm ki or palatna hi sahi path hai;
• bhai-behen ke beech ki ladai ke baad, vyakti ke kartavya aur dharma ki pehchan aage badh jaati hai.

Digambar aur Shwetambar paramparayon mein kuch vyakhyaen alag ho sakti hain:

• Bahubali ki moksha ki sthiti aur samadhi ke marga par vistrit vivaran dono traditions mein milta hai, lekin kuch tatva (jaise ki Kayotsarg ki abhasha ya moksha ki prapt) par antar milta hai.
• Bharat ki rajya-patra aur uske dharma-dharan ki vyakhya dono paramparaon mein saman roop se milti hai, lekin bhav-parivartan ki vyakhya mein vividhan ho sakta hai.

Agar aap chahen, main is vishay par jyada vistrit, siddh pramanon ke saath, dono Digambar aur Shwetambar ki vyakhyaon ko sametkar Hindi mein aur saaf roop se prastut kar sakta/ sakti hoon.
